Was Walter ever brought up in conversations? Doing a great job DF 👍👍

Who needs Humphrey when you can have CJ. Hawks mate says running machine, but can’t kick, nothing upstairs (his words). Anyway he’s ours and wears our colours. Run like the wind CJ……..

This BBQ will go down in history. Firstly, the anticipation on Sunday morning of when Demon Forever will post. Secondly, the magnificent effort of DF to update us while he’s taking a dump. And it’s made me chuckle reading the to and fro throughout. Bravo 👏 🏆

We only listen to @Demon Forever these days 😂

Fair call GB, I haven’t watched enough of both to know if Humphrey is so much better than Walter, unless we think Jeffo and Luker will get some good guidance from Brodie. And our target is a midfield/forward replacement in Humphrey. 🤷

@Demon Forever Do we know if Jed Walter has been brought up in discussions as an alternate trade option? I don’t see why we wouldn’t try get him, we are desperately seeking a young forward, and King, JUH to compete with.

Would rather he star for GWS than Pies. Couldn’t stand it if he went to Pies, played well, and cop it from the feral supporters. Go GWS, give us a better trade 👏

Maybe we just aren’t an attractive proposition as an assistant coach. Can’t see James Kelly or Brendan Lade leaving their current roles after missing out.

I was hopeful that whoever was named as Head Coach would already have had at least their 2IC lined up. Maybe King already has and they are waiting for the right time? Or still searching? Names thrown up so far are Bartel, Scarlett and now Hamill.

Relax. We’ve only got another 10 days of this thread to go.

Have a listen if you haven’t, spoke really well. The talk about inside 50 was positive, saying that we will try to be unpredictable, that in itself is music to my ears. Sometimes hearing the same message years on end can make people become stale and play within themselves. A new voice, new ideas etc just may unleash the shackles of a few. Get on and back Kingy

After Matt Crouch retired this year, #5 is available!!! All signs point to an exit ➡️ Fate or coincidence? 😆

Darcy Fogarty? You won’t be getting Thilthorpe. Fogarty and a 1st? Honestly haven’t watched enough of him to have an opinion, he looks like a lovely kick at goal though (unsure of accuracy).

Good luck today Steven King. May you get every last drop of intel you can. We look forward to seeing you Monday. 🙂

Win win next week. If Cats win, OUR coach gets more experience in a great culture. If Lions win, great too (because it’s not those scummy Pies!!!)

Watson would’ve been playing for us had the Hawks not picked him. Don’t understand the dislike for him, has a crack, is dangerous, and does this being a lot smaller than a lot of his competitors.

At some stage would love to hear the thoughts of the people who were on the panel. I don’t think anybody on the thread predicted King. On paper, he’s probably the most experienced and had dealings with a lot of successful coaches. The Hawthorn coaching machine under Clarko produced Beveridge, Hardwick and Simpson. Let’s hope King is that next premiership coach from the assistant line. Looking forward to the press conference.

A bit of nostalgia playing where his father played. All the best Charlie. Never quite liked him in the number 9, always felt he was too small for it after Neita.

See what happens when you kick straight. Geez wish we had the skills of Hawks, new coach needs to put this as a priority! Making the most of opportunities.

I’d be trading May and Lever before Petracca and Oliver. So overrated those back two. Put Petty and Turner down back for the next 5 years to form a great backline.

May to never play full back again please. Isn’t fast enough. Try him forward next year.

Went along today maybe expecting a side keen to impress any potential new coach. All I saw was a team lacking in confidence, any team cohesion, and terrible skills. Hawks skills are chalk and cheese compared to ours. Trac is so fumbly now, it’s a real shame. Lot of work ahead for whoever is brave enough to take the big job.

Completely agree Kozzy. Green rehashed the same argument over and over. Didn’t say we expected to be playing finals. Didn’t say forward entries were still the same 3 years running. Didn’t say membership numbers were dropping. I can’t believe the amount of times we bomb it inside 50 hoping for the best. Since 22 until now. The brains trust Goodwin, Williams, Chaplin, all other assistants, couldn’t figure it out. Goody you’ve had time to fix things. An easier draw this year, limited injuries and still think we are close, yet we sit 13th with 7 wins. Time to move on.

Petty loves a ‘pre’ goal celebration. Takes a mark, happy with himself, high fives teammates, then misses a sitter. Just kick the goal, then celebrate Harrison. For reference, Brian Taylor is his heyday, very funny.
